Judges 8:29-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 8 in context

Scripture Focus

29And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
30And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
31And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
Judges 8:29-31

Biblical Context

Gideon is living in his own house. He had seventy sons by many wives, and a son Abimelech by a concubine.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, Jerubbaal is your awareness that will dwell in its own house, a sovereign over your inner life. Your consciousness is a house with many rooms, and the seventy sons are the manifold acts, memories, and projects that your I AM has fathered when it dwells in its own place. The wives and the concubine are not merely obstacles; they are aspects of desire and allegiance within your mind. When the I AM dwells in the house, a single king arises, yet a mind that multiplies partners yields many voices vying for attention—each son demanding a share of the throne. Abimelech, born of a concubine, symbolizes a branch born from unacknowledged impulse; if left unrecognized, it can obscure the unity of purpose. The inner practice is to return to the premise that you are the I AM, the house’s king, and ordain your inner household by assuming unity: one will, one direction, one peace. In that moment, numbers settle and your life aligns with the conscious choice you affirm.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine your inner house as a calm chamber with you on a throne. Then assume, 'I am the I AM; all my desires and actions are unified under one will—here and now I feel it real.'
